Rubbing sound at 1800 RPM take off......

So just like I said, and thats the best way to describe it, I searched around the forums looking for this issue but nothing. Its only a brief second that you will hear it, but it is noticable loud, any suggestions???

Noticed it the second day I had the car( 35K miles 50Camden), but only after I had mastered the feel for this clutch.

Can you be more specific where this sound is coming from or originates at?
Giving a crude one-line description through the internet isn't going to provide much help.

Mine does this, i found a video of some guy asking what this noise was, and it matched mine. it was a worn throw out barring. others said it was nothing much to panic about. cant seem to find it again.

also, my clutch is very heavy!

^^^this, but louder. No problems with clutch engaging and Ive never heard a throw out bearing sound like this. I know it says clutch, but it dont seem right.

your thoughts???? what are your experiences with this if any??
